When the MIO-16 is configured for
±
10-V inputs, the board can acquire
±
30-V signals with this
attenuator circuit.
If the use of thermocouples is required in your applications, using National Instruments SC-2070 board
is better suited for the task. The SC-2070 board is equipped with an onboard temperature sensor for use
with thermocouple cold-junction compensation.
PC-LPM-16
The analog input section of an PC-LPM-16 data acquisition board consists of 16 ground-referenced single-
ended channels; therefore, the only valid configuration for the BNC-2080 is also RSE mode. In this
mode, all 16 analog input BNC connectors are used. Switches S1 through S4 and S6 through S9 must be
in the SE position, and jumper W1 should be in the AIGND-COMMON position, as shown in Figure 2-
17 and Figure 2-18, respectively.

Note: All the switches are required to be in the same position; that is, S1 through S4 and S6 through S9
must all be in the SE position for use with the PC-LPM-16.
